02:54 am Of Shoes and Ship and Sealing Wax by Lexalicious70 (NC-17)
Fandom: CW RPS
Pairing: Tom Welling/Michael Rosenbaum, Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] lexalicious70
Author Website: Shaman's Secret Garden

Why this must be read: because if mpreg is your secret kink, then you will love this wonderful story that Lexalicious creates. Imagine Michael Rosenbaum pregnant. Imagine Michael Rosenbaum in Mexico, pregnant with Tom Welling's baby trying to keep it a secret from the world. A charming take on the mpreg concept. Great Michael and Tom characterizations.

Link is to chapter one. I have asked the author to put a link at the bottom of each chapter. If she doesn't, check out all six chapters of the story, which can be found on [livejournal.com profile] sv_rps.

06:57 am Selfless/Selfish, by niicoly (G)
Fandom: STAR WARS
Pairing: Han/Leia
Length: 846 words

Author Website: none
Why this must be read:

Imagine an AU situation in which the unthinkable happens: years after the events of Return of the Jedi, Leia dies, leaving Han to raise their children on his own and survive in the galaxy without her. This beautiful fic captures Han's grief in a touchingly understated and believable manner that will tug at your heartstrings even if Han/Leia is not your usual cup of tea. Simply gorgeous.

Have you heard of Remix? Fanfic authors offer up their fics to other authors to remix: "Take the work of another person and wrap it up in your vision and style, just like a remixer does to songs."

The best remixes illuminate the original, letting you see a vivid new level of detail in the overall story. "Staging" is just one such remix, written off one of the best short fics in the fandom.

First read the original, Stage Five by [livejournal.com profile] thedeadparrot (480 words, PG), and then read:

08:15 pm Mine! & Yours! by Willow (both R)
Fandom: NCIS/Man From UNCLE
Pairing: Jethro Gibbs/Ducky Mallard, Jethro Gibbs/Hollis Mann
Length 2019 & 946 words
Author on LJ: [personal profile] toomuchfandom
Author Website: Unknown

Why these must be read:
What I like about these two is how Anita writes Ducky. It's quite rare that Ducky's darker side shows through, even though we all know he has one (French policeman anyone?) and I really love him in Alpha Male mode. The crossover with The Man From UNCLE comes from  the 'Ducky is Illya' idea but he is the only character drawn from that show here (apart from of his pen ;). It's the blending of Ducky's darker side and Illya's rather more obvious darker side that makes this work so well I think. Particularly nice read if you don't like Hollis Mann...


Mine!


Yours!

Fandom: NCIS
Pairing: Abby/McGee, Gibbs/Ducky, whole team gen
Length 50 lines
Author on LJ: [profile] erehwon6

Why this must be read:
I love this as Sage can say so much in so few words. She covers the whole team here with fifty prompts and fifty lines. A great mixture and very hard to choose a favourite. Sage captures the team's voices perfectly. Definitely something for everyone here...

10:47 pm The Smell of Burning, by deaka (PG-13)
Fandom: STAR WARS
Pairing: none (characters are Luke Skywalker and Anakin 'Darth Vader' Skywalker)
Length: 2,308 words
Author on LJ: [personal profile] deaka 
Author Website: none
Why this must be read:

This AU story features such a wonderfully poignant interaction between post-RotJ Luke and his father. Neither are sure of where they stand with the other, or if redemption is truly possible. Beautifully-written angst in which no simple resolution is reached; just as the best stories in the Star Wars universe should be. I count this fic as one of them.
